Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0669277A1] The sling system consists of two load-bearing slings (2) which are connected to a single point on the underside of the helicopter (1), and each having a lower end (21) connected to the outer end of the transverse beam (4) from which the load (5) is slung. Two side halyards (8) are connected at one end to the outer ends of the beam (4), and at the other to a transverse halyard (9) which passes through the helicopter cabin and enables the tension of the load-bearing slings to be adjusted. The transverse halyard and the central fixing point (3) are equipped with explosive fixings which enable the sling system to be jettisoned in an emergency. The lower end of each side halyard has a turnbuckle adjuster for its length, and the side halyards and main slings are connected to the ends of the transverse bar by double couplings.
